Use a straight-on shooting angle, standing directly in front of the exhibit with the lens at the same height as the exhibit. Employ a symmetrical composition, placing the main subject, the wooden antique shelf, in the center of the frame to fully display its upper and lower tiers and the symmetrical decorations on both sides. Capture the full view of the exhibit, and keep the red wall in the background to highlight the subject. Travel Tip: Admission is $60.
